The Kingsmen Quartet were always great for taking advantage of a situation. At one time, they had several members which could be described conservatively as rather "portly".

Who were the members of the Kingsmen Quartet when they became known as the "ton of fun"?

Eldrige Fox, Jim hammil, Johnny Parrack,Ray Dean Reese,,John Broome, Nick Bruno,Jim McCauley

I'll agree with six of the seven names on Rich's list but substitute Charles Abee for Nick Bruno and add Leonard Hollifiield on lead guitar.

Norm, you're right. Abee was the pianist when they originally started using that moniker and Bruno joined a year or so later.

Here's a picture of the "ton of fun":

There are nine men in the picture but there were four singers and four musicians at the time. Who is the ninth man -- the bus driver?

Parrack and Ray Dean look scrawney compared to the rest of em.

I think it's the steel guitarist. Maybe Eddie Trent?
